Is it too tacky/inappropriate to light candles for the dinner reception during a daytime wedding (1:30-5:30pm)? If so, what can I use to substitute for my centerpieces? I really need opinions.
I want to make them myself because they seem to be very expensive to buy.
Thanks.
I don't think so. Candles create an elegant atmosphere regardless of the time of day.
I think candles are perfect all the time. Ihave one lit on my desk right now and it completely sets the mood even though it's daylight. A nice bouquet of fresh flowers in a glass bowl with either tapers or votives I think is perfectly appropriate - and NOT TACKY! Good luck!
I love candles any time. You can get real creative with shapes and sizes. I remember a MS daytime table set with votives and a garland running down the table over a runner. It was beautiful
Another alternative to consider for centerpieces is potted flowering plants. You can also use them as favors.
I dont think there is anything tacky about it. Candles are pretty any time of the day.
WE had candles as the centerpieces for our wedding in October. Our room didnt have many windows so the candlelight really made the room look beautiful!!!
Good Luck
